Seeing justice done

The thing that bothers me most about my faith is that some people will end up in hell. I don't think that this is unfair or vindictive of God - I actually think that's exactly what we people deserve - including myself. And I think that if God were to rescue even only one person, it would be an act of beautiful mercy - so it's wonderful that there will be "a great multitude that no-one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language".1

So what's my problem? This is it: I care more about God acting in mercy than in justice. I'm glad that God is just, but it doesn't stir my heart the way it should. I pray that it would.
